Elixir & Phoenix in Action: Build Scalable, Concurrent, and Real-Time Applications for the Modern Era (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798282180442)

Unlock the full potential of the Elixir programming language and the Phoenix web framework to build highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and real-time applications that are ready for the demands of modern users.

Elixir & Phoenix in Action is your hands-on guide to mastering backend development with Elixir's functional programming model and Phoenix's real-time web capabilities. Whether you're building collaborative tools, live dashboards, messaging systems, or large-scale APIs, this book shows you how to architect and implement production-grade applications that can handle concurrency, distributed systems, and continuous uptime with confidence.

Written for developers who want to go beyond the basics, this book walks you through practical strategies for structuring modular applications, managing state safely, leveraging OTP patterns, and integrating features like authentication, background job processing, GraphQL APIs, LiveView interfaces, and presence tracking. You'll gain a deep understanding of the BEAM VM and how to apply its strengths to real-world backend systems.

Inside you'll learn how to:

• Build scalable APIs with Phoenix and Absinthe
• Implement real-time features using Channels and LiveView
• Track users and system state with PubSub and Presence
• Run asynchronous workflows with Oban and OTP
• Optimize for performance, fault tolerance, and distributed deployment
• Deploy robust applications using OTP releases and clustering

Backed by working code examples, architectural guidance, and deployment-ready practices, this book is not just a tutorial-it's a complete guide to building resilient backend applications with Elixir and Phoenix.

If you're ready to build fast, concurrent, and modern backends without sacrificing code clarity or reliability-this book is your essential companion, Take the next step now.
